SEAT CUSHION NIGHT AT BUSCH

What a celebration after a Cardinal come from behind victory. And while it makes me wonder had I been there if I would have thrown my seat cushion onto the field, I think I'm too frugal for that.

I would think of the value in an SGA (Stadium Give Away). I would relish the fact that many threw their's, thus the value would increase. Plus, if the Cardinals were angered by the actions, then maybe, just maybe they would sponsor no more seat cushion nights and my value would increase exponentially. (I told you I was frugal.)

And the tradition of throwing back an opponent's home run ball. Are you kidding me? Never.

There was one game that I attended that I wanted to throw something onto the field. It was in the Big Mac Era. The Cardinals were out of it in September and he got tossed from the game in the first inning. It didn't seem warranted. I was angered. We left the game after that and went shopping.

Had I had a plastic bottle I would have hurled it from Row 6. Not at a umpire, but as a protest, onto the field. Fortunately I couldn't find one. Most of the time, I think they're right. Not then. McGwire would really have had to show me up to get the heave, and he didn't appear to. Oh well, I probably got some bargains. Yeah, right.
